Verse 1:
A
All alone In the darkness of my room
B
The sunlight bleeding through my blinds
C#m
Like an angel's open wound
A
On the outside (I seem fine)
B
But on the inside (I'm not alright)
B
Every decision that I make
C#m
Just seems to be my worst mistake
Chorus:
E G#m F#m
Away, away from everything that hurts
E G#m F#m
Away from this pain I feel inside
E
Struggling to bend these lips
G#m A
Into a smile I'll soon dismiss
E G#m
My heart is not a place that I call home
F#m A
I just want to be alone
(Repeat Intro but only once)
Verse 2:
A
Still alone In the darkness of my room
B
Staring out between my blinds
C#m
Watching the daylight be consumed
A
Like the joy that (I once felt)
B
Dealing with these (cards I'm dealt)
B
When they said that life's not fair
C#m
They must have seen me sitting here
Bridge 1:
A B
It's funny how one moment
C#m
can change everything
A C#m
And in a second shatter
B A
every hope and dream you have
B
And leave you with an empty
C#m A
feeling you can't seem to fill
B G#/C
And empty space that only time might heal
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge 2:
E F#m C#m
Breath in deep and fill this chest with
A E
something more, more than emptiness
G#m C#m
Breath in deep and fill this chest with
A A
something more, more than emptiness
(Repeat Chorus 1 except last line)
Chorus 2:
E G#m
Away, away from everything that hurts
C#m A
Away from this pain I feel inside
E G#m
Away, away from everything that hurts
C#m A
Away I just want to be alone
Outro: A--E(hold)
